About This Course

This course contains two parts to provide you with complete training for operating a Skid Steer safely and efficiently. When operated in a safe manner, the skid steer is a very useful tool, essential to industry and business. However, when it is used in a reckless manner by an overconfident or ignorant operator, the skid steer can quickly turn into a deadly hazard. In this package, we'll equip you with the general knowledge and procedures you need to operate this piece of machinery safely and efficiently and avoid the common hazard pitfalls associated with skid steer use.

Both courses are designed to precede practical operator training and site-specific training. You must familiarize yourself with the specific equipment you wish to operate, the site on which you will operate, and the relevant regulations. Unusual operating conditions may require additional safety precautions and special operating instructions.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
